How much do you spend on groceries per week


Quote  |  Reply

I spend about $50. Now that I think about it, that's pretty damn pricey.  :(

a lot more than that...probably $100-$150 on average...its actually quite embarrassing...food here is ridiculously high..i can never seem to get out of the store for less than $75..and thats just for a weekend if Im on the road...

though I feed two people :D and he eats more and different things than I do....

For my husband and i the bill usually comes to about 150-175...plus my husband buys lunch everyday so there's another $50-ish on food.

I spend about a 100 every week. CRAZY i know, but fresh fruits and veggies are not cheap. And it's just lil ol me ;)

From the deleted thread:

My mom spends about 100 a week, but we have a huge family and four cats and a dog. So I guess if you consider the number it feeds thats not that bad :)

$50-$60. I'm single with three cats.

it's just my mom and i (and occasionally her boyfriend) but we spend like $150-$225 per WEEK on groceries. yikes, i know!

On average I spend about $100 a week for my boyfriend and I. I usually do a big 'load' one week, spending about $150, then the next week I just stock up on fruits and veggies, spending about $50.

Me too! That cat meat really does help keep the costs of groceries down, doesn't it!

$100-$150 - For two adults and two kids.  It'll go up to $180 if I get some cash back for the coming week.

Seriously a lot!  Averaging $150/week for me and my fiance.  Plus there are usually about 2-3 meals each week where we purchase ready made food or dine in a restaurant.

Eating healthy is not cheap!  When we were both in school we got by on about $200-$250/month.  Mind you back then our staples were hot dogs, mac n' cheese, ramen noodles, PB & Jelly sandwiches, ground beef and pasta.  Eating like that while in school is what caused my weight gain, so I am glad neither of us is in school anymore and we have more money to spend on healthy food.

For a family of 4, usually $250-300.

I feel great about $50 or less weekly as a single person. 

Im incorporating some more expensive items because they dont have forever shelf life but there are smart weighs to do it plus cant deny less volume than before.

about 150 to feed 6 people.

Between $25 - $50 a week as a single person.

I do about $60 a month, so I guess its around $15 a week. Its just me and Im a college student though.
My mom gives me $150 for a month..if I want more than that I buy it myself.  This is the first month trying it like this, so we will see how it goes =P

I think I used to spend about $75/2 weeks

It's really hard to say because I buy a lot of each thing that lasts several weeks while I'm so disorganized, I have to pick other things every week.  So, I'd say it was at least $75 for two adults and an 8 year old.  But that's not including going out several times a week too.,  Now with my life change (separation) I'll see what I really spend a week for myself and my son.  I already bought a big bag of rice and am buying bigger amounts of staples. 

Since dieting/counting calories and exercising, the grocery bill has gone up but I'm eating out less.  We were probably spending in the several hundreds in restaurant/fast food every week or every two weeks. 

I spend about $15-20 a week, but I do eat out about twice a week, get coffee at least twice a week, and am just scraping by as a college student.  Fortunately, veggies, oatmeal, and chicken are really cheap.

Between £10-15 ($20-30), I only need to buy for myself but still being a student, I need to scrimp and save and the rising prices ain't helping!!!
I spend £40-£50 ($80 - $100) for two of us on groceries. That's all the food plus non-foods like soap-powder, toilet rolls and shampoo.  We both have packed lunches, we don't buy takeaways and we eat out only occasionally.
